However, we look forward to discussing these matters directly with the ambassador."

Kissinger and came away saying that the secretary saw no major obstacles in the way of establishing normal relations with Hanoi. On Thursday, Montgomery heard from private sources, which he declined to name, that the Vietnamese were ready to talk.

withdraws amnesty measure UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) United States has withdrawn its U.N. resolution demanding worldwide amnesty for political prisoners, saying pending amendments from Third World countries had made it "a meaningless gesture or worse." The measure, introduced in the U.N. Social Committee nine days earlier by U.S. Ambassador Daniel P.

Moynihan, was withdrawn Friday without comment by Moynihan, who was reported on the verge of resigning. Moynihan later said he was "not leaving right away" and would meet with President Ford early next week. U.S. delegate Leonard Garment told the Social Committee that 15 proposed amendments to the amnesty measure prompted the withdrawal. "We began with a call to the nations of the world to free prisoners of conscience," Garment said.

"We could well end with a measure that asks amnesty for political terrorists and only for political The demanded amnesty for persons jailed for being in the political opposition or for being labor leaders, religious leaders, artists or he said. One of the amendments could have had the effect of demanding freedom for terrorists who act for political reasons. "It is not the United States' interest that may be violated today," Garment said. "It is the interest of the rule of law to which we appealed in our resolution and the interest of the central idea of the United Nations itself." is a shame but there is a shame which is perhaps even worse," he said. is that this body at this time seems not to care." In introducing the amnesty resolution, Moynihan had emphasized the necessity for consistency, saying: "Unless we care about political prisoners everywhere, we don't really care about them any where."

MADRID, Spain (AP) Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon was sworn in today as King Juan Carlos restoring monarchy to Spain after 44 years. He immediately pledged to be a friend of the people, a foe of privilege and a "promoter of justice." Choking back emotion as he stood in the main chamber of parliament with foreign dignitaries on either side, including U.S. Vice President Nelson A Rockefeller, the 37-year-old Juan Carlos took his oath of office by placing his right hand on a Bible held by -parliament President Alejandro Rodriguez de Valcarcel. Juan Carlos swore to uphold the principles of the regime of Gen.

Francisco Franco, who died Thursday at 82 after ruling Spain for 36 years. Juan Carlos' wife, Princess Sophie of Greece, sat beside him. The couple's three children sat at their left. On their right, a crown and scepter lay symbolically on a velvet-covered stool. The new queen wore a classic full- length dress of pink satin.

Her hands, twisting a handerchief, trembled as her husband took his oath with the words: "I swear by God and the Holy Gospel to comply with the fundamentallaws of the kingdom and to loyally guard the principles that formed the national Movement," Spain's only political organization and heir to the Fascist- style Falange that helped Franco to power in 1939. With the installation of Juan Carlos as king, his 7-year-old son Felipe became prince of Spain and heir to the throne. Dressed in a blue double-breasted suit, the boy sat quietly during the ceremony, swinging a leg from lime to time. In a 15-minute speech, loudly applauded by the chamber, the new king pledged to be the guardian of "peace, work and prosperity" and declared: "Monarchy will try at every moment to keep in closest touch with the people." Juan Carlos brought the deputies to their feet as he promised to restore territorial integrity" to Spain, a clear reference to the nation's claim of soverignty ever the British crown colony of Gibraltar. "The king takes over this objective with the fullest of convictions," he said.

After his speech, the king and his family left parliament to cheers outside of "long live the king!" and began a triumphant ride through the city. Reagan promises unity Ttl LOS ANGELES (AP) Ronald Reagan brought his presidential campaign to California with a promise he would never let his battle against President Ford damage or divide the Republican party. A cheering, flag-waving crowd of 700 persons and two marching bands welcomed Reagan back to conclude on Friday a tour of crucial primary election states. "For a while, we're back home in California, and how sweet it is," Reagan said after embracing his oldest daughter, Maureen, who led the welcoming party at the Holly vvood- Burbank airport. It was Reagan's last stop on a mile tour that took him to New Hampshire, North Carolina, Illinois and California.

On Thursday, he had formally announced his candidacy in Washington, D.C. and Miami. New Hampshire, Florida, North Carolina and Illinois are the first four major primary states next February and March. Reagan ended his tour with a private dinner at a Hollywood hotel with about 100 supporters and personal friends, including entertainers Bob Hope, Glenn Ford and Cary Grant. He plans no more appearances until a campaign swing beginning in Oregon on Dec.

Chronicle Sports Photo by Dickason Cords show class despite crown By GLEN DICKASON ChronicleStaff Writer WINLOCK There is nothing sadder than missing a chance to step up a rung, and for Winlock fans and players there were tears immediately following Friday night's loss to Raymond 20-7 in the state championship contest. But when all the tears had dried, it was a realistic group of Winlock fans that left Tiger Stadium. "Winlock Cards are still dyn-o-mite!" students on a rooters' bus chanted as they drove past the Cardinal locker room. "We love you Cards!" some of the students shouted ia that same direction. As Raymond students picked up the chant of "We're number one," they were drowned out by Card supporters shouting, "We're number two, and that ain't bad." A Winlock fan outside the Card dressing room noted the Cards had come a long way and just got beat by a better team, "but second ia the state is pretty darn good.

We've got nothing to be ashamed of." Dick Andrew echoed those sentiments. "Those boys have nothing at all to be ashamed of," the Cardinal head coach said. "We're really proud of what they've done." Parents-standing near agreed. "They worked hard and made second in the state. Not many teams can say that," one pointed out- And they are right, the Cardinals have gone further than most teams ever have a chance todream of.

They did a lot of it on skills, a lot of it with great coaching by Andrew and Ms assistant Doug Makaiwi, a lot of class, and a lot of backing by fans who, for the most part, never let down. The vast majority of fans were there every game traveling as far as Yakima and Moses Lake to give their team their support. And the Cards themselves showed the one thing that always marks winners. Class. It was evidenced throughout the season when Card defenders would make a jarring tackle, then pick up the fallen opponent, pat him 03 Ihe fanny, and say a word of encouragement.

It was evidenced when someone made -a mistake and came back to the coach without excuses. Fans Friday night saw it in those types of incidents and two very notice'aWe others. After the introduction of both teams (during which Cardinal players applauded each of the Seagulls as they were introduced) Raymond began jumping and yelling around mentor Joa Wahl. The Winlock players stood quietly, with helmets off and heads bowed, asking for a little extra help. During the playing of the national anthem, the Cards lined up down the sideline, with their helmets under their arms, and each and everyone sang, something most people leave for the other guys to do.

But in that, as in the way they play football, the Cards don't wait for someoneelse. They doit. See for reliled stories..
